Archeologists used the calendar we use now to calculate Dec 21, 2012 as the end date for the Mayan calendar. Yes, they did factor in leap years. The are not retarded.

Quoting: Anonymous Coward 24552466 We have changed calendars at least twice, people have added days, removed days, added leap years, all kinds of craziness. The chances of them being spot on with the date are slim, in my opinion. Some think the date was actually October 28, 2011. So there you go. [link to www.calleman.com] |

FatGoose User ID: 1326813 United States 11/18/2012 04:52 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | ********** OMG THE LEAP YEAR THING.. regardless of your opinion on what will or will not happen on 12/21/2012, the leap year thing is simply a matter of logic. Just think about it for a minute. Do you actually think that the date "December 21, 2012" is inscribed on the tablet? It's converted to our date system just like anything else found that has a date... regardless of whether the date is in the past or the future. *********** |

Tantalus User ID: 25737620 United States 11/18/2012 06:36 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | The Mayan calendar keeps a record of Venus transits, and solar eclipses. There was a solar eclipse (annular) this year on May 20, there was a Venus transit on June 6, and there was a total solar eclipse on November 13, just as the Mayan calendar says. It is accurate. That is the "failsafe." We can just look into the sky on certain dates to check to see if the Mayan calendar is accurate, which it is.

Vitiare User ID: 23347372 United States 12/08/2012 12:26 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Firstly, the Maya didn't have a leap year for the reason that they were not attempting to keep exactly in step with the solar year. This has been well known ever since their calendars were first researched more than a century ago. Secondly, the December 2012 date depends on the Long Count which is a count of days and is a different calendar from the approximately seasonal Haab. Thirdly, it doesn't really matter whether any calendar is 'right' or 'wrong' or has been modified. What's important is that we know how it works and know the rules for arriving at a particular date. At this point, it should be explained how the date of 21st December 2012 was deduced. The most widely accepted correlation between the Long Count and the Gregorian calendar is the Goodman-Martinez-Thompson (GMT) correlation which places the start of the Long Count as 11th August 3114 BCE in the Gregorian calendar.13 So we know when the Long Count began and how it counts forward. We know how the Gregorian calendar works and how many leap years it has. Thus we can count forward 13 baktuns of 144,000 days each, totalling 1,872,000 days, starting from 11th August 3114 BCE. Taking into account all leap years, we arrive at a date of 21st December 2012. |
